• Abstract: As the uterus enlarges to accommodate the growing fetus during pregnancy, the cervix behaves essentially as a barrier. During ripening and delivery, it needs to become soft and distensible to allow dilation and the passage of the conceptus. As the transformations of the collagen-containing fibres are known to be essential for ripening and delivery, it has been hypothesized that the elastic system fibres, owing to their intrinsic mechanical properties (reversible extensibility), could be involved in the shape-recovering process immediately after delivery. In sections stained by Weigert's resorcin-fuchsin (with previous oxidation), we describe the elastic system fibres in the lamina propria of the rat uterine cervix. They are distributed following different patterns when in the endocervix or in the ectocervical-vaginal region. A third distinctive pattern (named the 'elastic tendon') is described here for the first time in the uterine-cervical transition. A special morphometrical protocol has been designed in order to overcome problems during the quantification process. Using the so-called intercept counting method, it was possible to demonstrate that the elastic system fibres are increased in the cervix at the end of pregnancy. They may be involved in the immediate shape-recovering of the cervix after delivery as well as in helping to strengthen the anchoring of the epithelium to the lamina propria, thus minimizing birth trauma
